Buyer questions

How does buying a home in Chattanooga work?

In short: get pre-qualified, search and tour homes, make an offer, complete inspections and the appraisal, and close. David guides you through each step and stays with you through closing.

What should I do first when buying a home?

Start with pre-qualification so you know your budget, then talk with David about what matters most to you: location, size, commute, and must-haves. That focuses the search.

Can David show me homes in Georgia as well as Tennessee?

Yes. David is licensed in both states, so he can help if your search crosses the state line into North Georgia.

Do I need an agent to buy a house?

You are not required to have one, but an agent helps you find homes, write a competitive offer, negotiate repairs, and keep the closing on schedule. Ask David how working together works so there are no surprises.

Will David help me find a lender?

Yes. The team connects buyers with lenders so you can compare options and find a mortgage that suits your budget.
